At @NevadaStateU this morning at a roundtable with NSHE Southern Nevada presidents moderated by @RalstonReports. He asks them for their reactions to the prez election results.
All of the @NevadaRegents shenanigans tip me to vote Yes on 1 until I remind myself that “legislators on the February NFA Zoom said there was no plan or specifics for what might be changed.” So then it’s a devil you know vs the devil you don’t choice. 👎🏽 nevadafacultyalliance.org/NewsArchive/13…

Thanks for that finger-wagging, @NevadaRegents Goodman. Today's @NSHE presentation from the Martin Center *is* political and this group has been responsible for systematically dismantling higher education in North Carolina and Florida.
In a change of norms, Regent Goodman doing public comment, telling faculty their advocacy should be to oppose taking BOR out of constitution. Recognizes presentation from conservative group, but we should still listen. @NSHE
